You know those nights where you get home from work late, or have a million things due this week and have to either choose between making a healthy meal and checking something off the list? More often than not, a pizza gets ordered, something fatty and salty from a bag gets picked up, or you make something quick that lacks fresh vegetables.

This is where Porttion comes in. Porttion bills itself as “Global Fusion” cuisine, and we can say that everything we tried was delicious. Their menu changes weekly based on what is fresh and locally available around Columbus. After you go through their website and pick which meals (or meal plans) you want, your Porttion meals are delivered on Sunday in time for the upcoming week.

Porttion isn’t just a substitute for meals when you are in a hurry. Each meal has a calorie count, carbohydrate count, and protein count listed right on the label (great for macro counters). Each of these is also listed on the website when you choose your meals, so you are free to pick from low-cal, low-carb or protein-dense options. The “Global Fusion” is also great because nothing taste the same. For instance, when we ordered ours, we had Mexican breakfast quesadillas and sweet potato hash for breakfasts (2 meals split between two people), then we had Japanese Squash Curry and pasta with marinara and zucchini noodles for lunch.

The food tastes great, but the convenience of having these meals delivered really cannot be overstated. Think of Blue Apron, but the meals are ready and can all be microwaved in under two minutes. They arrive at your door on Sunday in a zipped bag with an ice pack inside to keep it cold until you can get the food in your fridge. Each meal comes in a sealed, microwave safe plastic bin.

Definitely check out Porttion’s website and take a look at this week’s menu. Porttion does a good job at being open to adjusting meals based on food allergies or personal preferences, but try not to good too crazy changing everything (they have a lot of food to make!). As long as you get your order completed by 11:59 p.m. each Thursday, you’ll get your food fresh and on your doorstep sometime Sunday. We can’t wait to see this company grow in Columbus and continue making wonderful food!
